At Macrina, we make Challah every Friday, offering it in both plain and poppy seed. We braid three ropes of dough in the European Jewish tradition to represent unity. According to The Book of Jewish Food<\/i> by Claudia Roden, the three braids stand for truth, peace, and justice, and the poppy seeds represent manna that fell from heaven. We bake our challah loaves to a deep golden mahogany color and a firm crust. The soft, tight crumb pulls apart easily. The shiny, honey-sweetened bread is excellent toasted, turned into delicate french toast, or passed around the table with a meal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the Jewish High Holidays, we form our Challah into rounds\u2014or crowns\u2014to recall the cycle of the year, or as Roden characterizes them, \u201cwhere there is no beginning and no end.\u201d The honey in the crowns represents hopes for a sweet new year. We make our crowns in both plain and studded with raisins.<\/p>\n

This year we will be offering our Challah Crowns from September 18\u201320 to celebrate Rosh Hashanah and September 27\u201328 to celebrate Yom Kippur. Whether they\u2019re part of your religious tradition, or you just love great bread and the tradition of sharing it with others, stop by one of our caf\u00e9s and get one of these beautiful, symbolic loaves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
